Not quite true— the Dutch fought for hours.


TWO days! :p

Seriously, they did not expect an attack, thinking the Germans would leave them in peace as was done in 1914.


We did expect an attack but only when it was too late so we didn’t have any weapons the second day of combat Dutch soldiers fought with arms from the war museum because they where getting out of ammo

capitulation only took place after the bombardment of Rotterdam that same day when the Dutch Government indeed realized resistance was futile
